the subliminal messages in this :)

I was running voice recordings from my phone through my moddemix, but needed to refresh my info on how to use it. So now I am watching this video on my phone with the audio run through the moddemix and into headphones, and I think it's freaking awesome. Modception

okay, this is a version of vocalsynth i can get behind. thanks for the great and clear explanation.

This is a really good re-creation of the Star Wars radio communication effect heard in the Death Star attack. The effect was created by transmitting audio over single-sideband radio.

Walker has that very particular gleam in his eye which only someone who spends as much time around a modular synth like he does would have and it borders on a welcomed aura of the best kind of insanity....Or maybe it`s just me idk

Great video! I have often felt that the modDemix was a very underrated and underused(by me) module. It’s really cool that you used some of the images from that old moddemod video from 12 years ago.

this is great! Would love to see more modDemix videos!

I can recognize so many vocal effects in movies that were doing just this effect.

Thanks for waiting for me to buy a ModDemix before releasing this video 😁

I just sold my moddemod and replaced it with a moddemix, it took me a while to build a clone of the original moddemod that had the same tone of the original. Even with a minuscule number of parts (two basic components repeated throughout), it's amazing how much variation can occur. I'm glad that moddemix can reproduce some of the qualities that I loved about the original, but... the clone I built is not leaving my home system anytime soon. Tony really has an ear for interesting sounds.

My palete must be expanding, because this hit the spot tonight.

The modemix can also be made to self oscillate with a feedback loop. So can the OPTOMIX .. funny thing is for something to get stuck in a feedback loop there needs to be something to FEED BACK.. but in these cases there isn’t .. ghosts in the machines I guess. Shared System is just a lot of ghosts in a box. I’ve had mine for like 4-5 years now . I don’t crack it out as much as I used to or have time for (deadlines on releases and life stuff).. but it’s always a treat still to this day. I’m still rockin the original CV Bus one. I added the Erbeverb (yup.. didn’t come with back then), MMG, and an additional function generator (Function).. why do I never see people adding that third function generator ?

Isn’t the carrier the signal that is being modulated/demodulated?

not sure what I’d do if my boss asked me to “say it in tune with the carrier waveform.” does that mean emulating the waveform with your voice?

@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC

4 жыл бұрын

the modulating VCOs are tuned to a frequency, so singing a word in tune with that frequency will have a different effect from normal speech. the voices in that clip were from 2008, when Tony was the sole employee of Make Noise - Kelly, the other voice, is now the CEO so nobody's anybody's boss in that soundbite, FYI :)

If you demodulate using a multed copy of the modulator, instead of a second oscillator tuned to the same frequency, then you will hear what “accurate” demodulation would sound like. This will have less apparent presence of the demodulator in the sound, but may also not be as sonically interesting.

@Odihmantich

No, I mean at 2:38 as soon as you begin monitoring the output, as I understand we hear the modulator signal even before your voice is introduced. Is there a way to avoid that? Like so that there would be silence between your spoken words.
